State wildlife officials have confirmed that a tissue sample collected from a deer in Oconto County has tested positive for the virus that causes epizootic hemorrhagic disease, or EHD. This occurrence of the disease was identified after a landowner in Oconto County contacted the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) with recent observations of seven dead deer on a 40-acre property in the area north of Oconto Falls. Two additional dead deer were found and reported to the DNR from a neighboring property.
